I met this little old lady at a dog park a few years ago who had one of these bichons or whatever and she had named it “Mr. Pancakes” and I think that may be the best dog name I heard until my neighbor got this goofy golden lab and named it “Waffles!”

several people have asked and no one has answered - what the gently caress is up with that eye crust?

Dunno, all dogs secrete it. My dog has these enormous ropey black eye goobers on a regular basis, but his eye fur is pristine. Why? Because I take care of my loving dog and don’t let it wallow in it’s own filth.

When I did my vet tech interning the breeds with the single highest rate of crusty eye rear end poo poo were droopy ones with Golden Retrievers being some of the ones with the most common discharge issues.

Golden Retrievers are generally some of the most hosed up dogs I saw healthwise, it's not wonder they tend to die young. Those dogs get utterly hosed up and Golden Retriever owners almost always let the dog run around in filth and poo poo and don't come in for enough checkups. I dunno wtf it is with Golden Retriever owners. Those dogs seem to die by the bushel. It's jacked up. It's worse than Pit owners for pure negligence.

Never saw the dog itself though, so I don't know if it was fitting.

These kind of dogs are not only Malteses, there are also Shih Tzus, Lasha Apsos, etc. Dogs like the Lasha Apso were literally BRED to be guard/watchdogs, so they are naturally less inclined to trust strangers. Couple that with: 1. A large, forced group setting like apartment living 2. Probably not enough exercise, even for such small dogs, leading to neurotic behavior 3. The biggest one of all, NOT TRAINING OR SOCIALIZING THE POOR loving DOG AT ALL And you end up with a nightmare neighbor of a dog, usually accompanied by a nightmare of an owner. I grew up in apartments and assuming they aren't actively acting rabid, nothing sets off my "cross the street to avoid this dog" meter more than seeing an Ewok breed. Even the pit bulls tend to be trained better because most of their owners realize they are walking liabilities. Disclaimer: Not all dogs etc., two of my best dog bros in the past were a friend's Maltese/Bichon mix and my grand aunt's Lasha.

Threads about dogs are the worst because people try to make jokes while other posters fall over themselves weeping and crying, accusing everyone else in the thread of being a dog murderer. This doesn’t happen in threads about pizza or Nickelodeon’s Doug.

Do dogs like catupiry? Squeezy cheeze anyway, it better. No onions, no grapes, no chocolate. Nope, dogs can't have Brazilian pizza. It would murder them.

I think the bigger issue isn't that tiny dogs go neurotic and yap all day long, but that they have lovely owners that think of them more like cute accessories rather than living, breathing things that need attention and training so they don't turn into little yapping demons that poo poo everywhere.

The reason these threads are always like this (and why the 'problem dog'/'problem owner' debate is neverending whether it's a chihuahua or great dane) is because way too many people own, raise, and handle animals that they don't know poo poo about. This isn't just a problem with dogs, for example holy poo poo so many people own cats and don't even attempt to learn what their poor pet's basic body language means, but the problem is loudest in dogs because dog bites make the news. If every owner took the time to learn their pet's body language and personality, and trained it appropriately, this wouldn't be a thing. But that would involve every single person across the country suddenly really paying close attention to their dogs, so it's not going to happen.

Dog threads can live in harmony if people just understand that when posters say “I want to kick that stupid loving white dog into the sun,” it’s understood that they mean “I want to kick that white dog’s stupid loving owner into the sun”. It just takes more words.

Every time I hear these jokes in public they carry a bizarre undercurrent of aggression. Everyone who waxes apeshit about some hyperspecific breed of dog with such vitriol is weird as poo poo.

the fault is with neither dogs nor owners, but with a modern world that requires people to work extended hours or double up on part time jobs, with every adult in the household working full time. such that a dog gets 5 minutes outside in the morning to poop, 10 minutes "walk" in the evening, and if they're lucky an hour or two of exercise on weekends. $15 minimum / 35 hour week, solidarity for dogs!
